Ok, so the health nut is across the pond for the week so I've been asked to fill in a day or two while she is away. So be gentle. As we approach the holiday season, one thing is usually a common scene for our family. The Turkey Trot. Our family has made this annual 5k a tradition year after year and this Thursday will be one of the very few we haven't run in (due to vacations). This has always been a great way to get everyone together, have a little fun family competition and then burn a few calories before the big turkey dinner later that day (or at least that last one was my mom's idea). And it's over and done with before football kicks-off so there really is no excuse. And if running on your day off from work doesn't excite you, the season has just started for all kinds of races now that the cooler weather is approaching. From 5ks to Marathons, it's time to get out there and hit the pavement. Whether it's tradition or for competition, I encourage everyone to find a fun event to take part in. Below are a few options in the Dallas area, but I guarantee every city has something going on this time of year. Stay strong and happy running! -j
